Surviving High School
Surviving High School | M. Doty
10 posts | 3 to read
What's the secret to surviving your freshman year of high school? Emily Kessler thinks she has it all figured out. She eats, sleeps and trains for competitive swimming. All she has to do is keep her grades high and swim times short -- short enough to live up to her sister Sara's. But walking the crowded maze of unfamiliar high school hallways is like diving headfirst into shark-infested waters. Shark #1: Dominique, her biggest competition on the swim team and all-around mean girl. Shark #2: The adorable and popular Ben Kale... Emily can't resist his smile no matter how hard she tries. When the pressure builds to the point where Emily isn't sure she can stay afloat, she begins to question the strict path her life has always followed. Maybe there is more to life than studying and swimming. Maybe the secret to surviving high school is just to have a little fun. The hit mobile game Surviving High School comes to life in an original novel about perfection, failure, and following your dreams.

Lola @texreader @britt_brooke @Blueberry @Lcsmcat @Alfoster @BookaholicNatty Wouldn‘t it be fun to have a Litsy meet-up there?! The kids call it Hogwarts-and it really reminds me of that-smack dab in the middle of the city. (edited) 6y

AlaMich @LectricSheep That‘s okay...it‘s funny now but in high school, not so much! 😬 6y
xicanti My high school also had a Trojan, and during musical rehearsal my friends and I accidentally got pizza grease all over the roundel in the middle of the gym floor. Of course, he was always the Lubricated Trojan after that. 6y

1. Sr year, I was lucky enough to be in a class called Honors Independent Reading with 5 other kids- all buddies of mine. We had a classroom to ourself and had to occasionally check in. There is NO WAY that would fly today!!
2. Chemistry and PE
3. Student government and volleyball
4. We were the Slicers because the meat slicing company that had been in our town years before gave tons of $$ to the school. 👇👇👇

AmberWB It‘s hard to have a Slicer mascot, but senior year, we had one of our friends dress up as “Super Slicer”- orange tights, cape, mask- at all of the football games. I think that only lasted for one year. 🤣 (edited) 6y

Tonight's non reading fun brought to you by #Bush, who have as many nonsensical lyrics as the first few chapters of Ulysses, but isn't Gavin Rossdale still fabulous to look at???

callielafleur Yes!! They're so good live. Last time I saw them, Gavin Rossdale ran through the crowd, and I may have reached out to touch his shoulder as he ran past. I desperately wanted to go back in time and tell 12 year-old me this, so we could fangirl over that moment together. 😂 6y
IamIamIam @callielafleur LMFAO!!!! He did that last night, too!!! Like almost in the nosebleeds! I was really impressed!!! Lol, that man hasn't aged in 20 years! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 6y

This isn‘t a book but I have to share since as book lovers, we kind of care about education. 😉
Kids get into this charter school by lottery. They‘re pushed to use their creativity via tech. I Hated high school. But I‘d go back for this. Read the story here: https://www.wired.com/story/design-tech-high-school #happymaking #highschool

CindyMyLifeIsLit @inwhichHeikereadsharder Yes, it's one school. That's actually not all of it! It's four stories. The library is two stories tall with a glass wall and a spiral staircase in the middle. 7y
